The exterior tweaks are obvious, with front and rear wing extensions made of light composite materials. This extra bodywork increases the vehicle's overall width by 60 mm (2.4 in.). The most distinctive aspect of the front end is the apron with the four striking LED daytime running lights. Also, Hamann designers enhanced the sides of the Tycoon with new side skirts. The body kit is functional, with enlarged vents in the front and the carbon hood allowing cooling air to flow through the engine compartment. At the rear, Hamann replaced the X6 M's original skirt with its own, making room for a custom exhaust system with centrally positioned pipes. Distinct Hamann touches are found inside as well.

A new ECU and other minor modifications to the engine allow the Tycoon Evo M to produce 670 bhp at 6000 rpm and 575 lb.-ft. of torque from 1500 to 5650 rpm.

Naturally, the suspension has been stiffened for improved handling. No prices have been announced. Nor is it even known if the Tycoon Evo M will be available in the U.S.
